When you’ve been writing for a food blog as long as we have, you’ll definitely have your fair share of delicious food. But then some of us (cough, me, cough) will have forgotten to exercise and balance it out along the way with healthier food options. So recently, I decided I had to start taking a more holistic approach to wellness in order to improve my well-being. But the part that worried me the most was substituting the decadent (Boeuf Bourguignon) with the practical (kale salads and steamed salmon) and still being able to enjoy my meal. The question became – can food be good for you and delicious? The answer I’m happy to share is yes! Recently, the team here at Eat. Drink. Repeat. partnered with the Food Should Taste Good®brand to explore this concept further, and we couldn’t wait to get started.

Eating this awesome sushi roll is for a good cause

If you recall a few weeks back we teamed up with Ra Sushi for Foodies Show Heart, a sushi competition where several of Atlanta’s finest foodies and social media personalities competed in a maki and nigiri deathmatch for charity. Well guess who won…

Say “Cheese”

Everyone in Atlanta (and beyond) knows all about Tim Gaddis…or do they? I had the opportunity to sit down with everyone’s favorite Cheesemonger from Star Provisions for a Q&A session to find out everything from how he got his start in the business (did you know he was a police officer first?), to his current favorite cheeses, and a preview into what he has in store for the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, which comes to town May 30 – June 2, 2013.

From my family’s table… dishes to inspire a great meal

Every year as many others do, my family and I come together to give thanks around a bountiful table of delicious food. From a small family of 5 to a table that will seat 10 in just a few nights, we’ve tried and tested many new dishes over the years. Recently, we seemed to have found irresistible recipes (or invented a few of our own) and perfected our Thanksgiving dinner. Whether your gathering with your family or friends, here’s some dinner inspiration from our table to yours.

Opa! A little Meze to start the weekend off right…

Dinner Sunday night came around. There were no tents. There were no classes. There were no throw downs. Suffice it to say, it was a sad Sunday night. The Atlanta Food & Wine festival left us as quickly as it came – but the experience, the tastes, the sights and sounds – those will be enough to carry us through to next year. With that, this 4 part series recap will take you down memory lane, with the last series featuring a special video tribute to the festival – 3 incredible days in 3 minutes. Here’s to Dominque Love and Elizabeth Feichter for bringing this festival into our lives and showing the world yet again that the Southeast has some of the best culinary offerings in the country. Salud!

Meat Week Series Continues April 22-28 with ‘Beef Week’

“What is it with this city? I need to write a letter to the Chamber of Commerce.” – Gil Pender in Midnight in Paris

I first learned of “The Meat Week Boucherie Dinner” series when it launched back in February with ‘Wild Game Week’. It turns out, this was a returning series of four-course dinners featuring whole-animal cookery. Intrigued, I waited for the launch of ‘Veal Week’ in late March to see what it was all about. Plus, any excuse for me to enjoy BLT’s famed popovers is always a good idea.
